SEMBRAR AIRE

We are an interdisciplinary initiative committed to enhancing livable conditions
for
human and more-than-human life in urban environments


ACKNOWLEDGMENT


SEMBRAR AIRE is dedicated to Carlos Machado, who tirelessly nurtures and plants mangrove trees in Isla Grande, Colombia. His commitment to giving back what nature provides—breathable air, clean water, and a thriving ecosystem—inspired our foundation.

SEMBRAR AIRE began during the Cité internationale des arts residency program 
In situ 2025-2026 in Paris, supported by the Carasso Foundation.

Founded by Beatrice Zaidenberg
In collaboration with Adam Hudec

SEMBRAR AIRE is part of the Dusts Institute. Since 2021, the Dusts Institute has explored the urban environment by turning invisible actors (airborne particles, microorganisms and ruderals) 
into protagonists. 

Through interactive installations, public walks, art and architecture projects, the Dusts Institute engages diverse audiences and inspires action to address current environemntal crises.
